After Qin Hongmian ordered the herbal twist, there were indeed no mosquitoes in the room. It seemed that Shi Yuan could only be in the same room with these two women tonight. Because he doesn't want to wake up tomorrow morning without being human......

"Don't say it, it smells pretty good." Shi Yuan, who had never seen anything like this before, looked very curious, "Girl Cotton Tree, if you have anything to ask, please tell me!" ”

"Me? Then ask Shi Hao Gongzi to tell me about the situation of the Beiqing army and your specific arrangements! Qin Hongmian opened his mouth and said: "Because of the rain, I didn't let people go down the mountain to inquire about the situation. ”

"This ...... You may not believe it when you say it, but in fact, I don't have a definite plan right now! Shi Yuan replied a little embarrassed, because this answer was indeed a bit irresponsible.

However, this answer seemed to be expected by Qin Hongmian, "Then Shi Gongzi, did you enter the mountain this time just to find an ambush place?" ”

Shi Yuan nodded. Although there is no clear plan, there is still a general direction, and Fang just said this, just to see Qin Hongmian's attitude, "Hmm! I have already told the Cotton Girl before, Beiqing is probably going to fight quickly, so if you want to succeed in the sneak attack, you have to drag down the Beiqing army! The city of Yangzhou has already been arranged, and Beiqing will not be able to capture Yangzhou in a short period of time. I'm just afraid...... Beiqing will withdraw its troops! ”

"The withdrawal of troops from Beiqing is not very likely. Because this opportunity is extremely rare, and ...... I also know a very important piece of news on my side. Qin Hongmian heard this and shook his head at Shi Yuan.

"Oh? I don't know what news do you know about the Cotton Tree Girl? Shi Yuan frowned and asked. It seems that Qin Hongmian still has some material on his hands!

"I've only been here to look at Beishan for less than half a month. Does Shi Hao know where I was before? Qin Hongmian didn't say it directly, but asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Cotton Tree Girl, you can't be in the west, right? Where would Shi Yuan know, so he guessed casually.

However, when Qin Hongmian heard it, a trace of surprise flashed on his face. Seeing this, Shi Yuan muttered, "No, it won't, right?" Did you really get me right? ”

Knowing that Shi Yuan was casually blinded, Qin Hongmian, who was extremely surprised, recovered, and nodded at Shi Yuan and Liuli, "After my father died in battle, I once went all the way north to the imperial city of Beiqing, and wanted to assassinate the emperor of Beiqing...... But in the end, he almost lost his life. escaped by luck, and then I knew that it was difficult to take revenge by myself, so I fled to Shudi! Started to run his own power......"

Although Qin Hongmian said it easily, Shi Yuan and Liuli can also imagine the sadness and frustration in it. A woman can do this in order to avenge her father, this can definitely be described as great! It is no exaggeration to say that if someone recorded it, it would definitely go down in the ages.

"A few days ago, I heard about the situation in Nanqing, and I knew that Beiqing would definitely not give up this opportunity. This is always a matter of trying your luck...... And before I left, I accidentally knew that the Shu Zhongjun was going to show favor to Emperor Beiqing! Qin Hongmian continued.

"Shu Zhongjun?" Shi Yuan had heard of this word before, and he also knew some general things about the Shu Zhongjun from Baihua and others. But now that Qin Hongmian suddenly said it, he was still a little surprised.

"Shi Hao's son won't know, right?" Seeing Shi Yuan, who was so surprised, Qin Hongmian subconsciously asked.

"Of course I do! It's just that what is the strength of this Shuzhong army? Shi Yuan opened his mouth to explain.

"As a descendant of the ancestors who helped Daqing Gaozu calm the world, the strength of the Shuzhong Army should not be underestimated. But since the Ji family sat firmly on the throne of the king of Pingzhou, they have enjoyed peace and tranquility, and they have lost some sharpness over the years...... But even so, the equipment and configuration of the Shuzhong army are still very elite. Emperor Beiqing will definitely accept the support of the Shuzhong army, if he hastily withdraws the army, I am afraid that this Pingzhou Wang Ji may turn back. Qin Hongmian opened his mouth and explained: "So even if Beiqing breaks his head this time, I'm afraid he won't withdraw his troops!" ”

"I see! Do you know how many people there are in this Shu army? Shi Yuan pondered in his heart and asked again.

"Before, there were 50,000 people in the Shuzhong army. But the emperors of Daqing have always weakened this number. Until the split of Daqing, there were only 10,000 people left in the Shuzhong army! However, since the division of Daqing, the land of Shuzhong has been unmanaged, and this Pingzhou Wang Ji Wuyan has also been expanded...... That's about 30,000 people! Qin Hongmian replied.

"30,000 people...... That is to say, Beiqing only needs to transfer another 70,000 people to compete with the three armies of Nanqing? Hearing this number, Shi Yuan guessed.

But for his conjecture, Qin Hongmian shook his head, "That's not the case!" If Shi Hao, Gongzi said before, if the Northern Huns were in an emergency, the number of troops in Beiqing would be even less! Besides, Shi Hao, don't forget, the three armies of Nanqing have always been called soft eggs by Beiqing...... Even if there are 100,000 people in Nanqing, Beiqing only needs to use half of the troops to calm down! Of course...... This was before General Shi Yuan came, and the current situation may be a little different. ”

Shi Yuan nodded after hearing this, "What do you think Beiqing will do, then the Cotton Tree girl?" Things seemed to be getting more and more confusing, and Shi Yuan began to be glad that he was fortunate to have met Qin Hongmian, otherwise he would only have been able to know such important news for a long time.

"In fact, King Pingzhou showed goodwill to Beiqing this time, because he saw that Beiqing would definitely unify Jiangnan. In other words, he didn't know what was going on in Sebei, or rather, he didn't feel how serious Sebei's situation was! And as a benefit of showing favor to the Beiqing Emperor, he will definitely be rewarded by the Beiqing Emperor...... If you were the emperor of Beiqing, Prince Shi Hao, how would you bestow it in the face of such a situation? Qin Hongmian said in the end, but he asked Shi Yuan rhetorically.

Although Qin Hongmian didn't say it explicitly, combined with what she said before, Shi Yuan immediately guessed the key: "Girl Cotton Tree, you mean...... Emperor Beiqing will make this Pingzhou Wang Ji shameless to expand his troops! ”

Qin Hongmian nodded, "In fact, 30,000 Shu Zhong Army is just the number that Ji Wuyan declared to the outside world, but in fact, in the past six years, the Shu Zhong Army has expanded to 50,000 beyond the number stipulated by the Ancestor Emperor, and now ...... That's about 60,000 or 70,000 people! Ji Wuyan showed goodwill, Emperor Beiqing knew that it was the time to use troops, Ji Wuyan hoped that Emperor Beiqing would accept this number, and the emperor of Beiqing would definitely issue this holy decree to expand the army! ”
